Originally published in 1934, this book describes the regional variation in architecture in mediaeval Russia and the South Caucasus and the influence it had on western styles. Buxton's text is annotated with many drawings and over one hundred photographs of medieval churches, including several which were destroyed under the Soviet government. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Russian architecture and its legacy.

We imagine posthumans as humans made superhumanly intelligent or resilient by future advances in nanotechnology, biotechnology, information technology and cognitive science. Many argue that these enhanced people might live better lives; others fear that tinkering with our nature will undermine our sense of our own humanity. Whoever is right, it is assumed that our technological successor will be an upgraded or degraded version of us: Human 2.0.
"Posthuman Life" argues that the enhancement debate projects a human face onto an empty screen. We do not know what will happen and, not being posthuman, cannot anticipate how posthumans will assess the world. If a posthuman future will not necessarily be informed by our kind of subjectivity or morality the limits of our current knowledge must inform any ethical or political assessment of that future. "Posthuman Life "develops a critical metaphysics of posthuman succession and argues that only a truly speculative posthumanism can support an ethics that meets the challenge of the transformative potential of technology.
